PENITAS – Hidalgo County Health and Human Services Department, in partnership with Hidalgo County Precinct 3, will hold a Back-to-School Health Fair at the St Anne’s Parish Hall located at 17117 Coconut Drive in Penitas on Saturday, August 20 from 9 a.m. – noon.
The health fair is free and open to all county residents.
“As the school year approaches, we are excited to provide the community with back-to-school vaccines and school supplies,” said Hidalgo County Precinct 3 Commissioner Everardo “Ever” Villarreal.
There will be health related booths on-site conducting health screenings and giving out information on health-based programs offered in the different precincts. They will also be handing out free school supplies, and BBQ plates until supplies last.
Back to school vaccinations will also be available for $5 for children and $10 for adults, as well as free COVID-19 vaccinations for ages 5 and up.
“Our goal is to make it easier for students to return back to school,” said Health and Human Services Chief Administrative Office Eddie Olivarez. “It’s a great opportunity for families to find what they need in preparation for the school-year under one roof.”
